StatLine IQ Scores

StatLine IQ is a proprietary composite rating modeled on the intelligence IQ scale. Rather than relying on a single stat like ERA or batting average, each score synthesizes multiple performance dimensions into one number — making it easy to compare players across different strengths. A score of 100 represents the D1 average; every 15 points is one standard deviation above or below.

StatLine Pitching-IQ weighs ERA, WHIP, strikeout rate, command (K:BB), and innings durability — a dominant ace with elite control scores far higher than ERA alone would suggest.
StatLine Hitting-IQ combines OPS, contact quality, plate discipline, and speed — rewarding complete hitters who get on base, drive the ball, and create pressure on the bases.

StatLine Pitching-IQ

Team ERA of 1.27 is excellent (College benchmark: 2.80). WHIP 0.87 is excellent (benchmark: 1.20). Team K/BB of 3.24 is below the 3.5 standard. Low free-pass rate of 0.30/IP—staff attacks the zone effectively. Healthy workload distribution across 7 arms—good rotation management. Strong pitching depth with a clear top pitcher and 6 reliable arms. 1 pitcher(s) still working on fundamentals—give them low-pressure innings to build confidence.
